I need to know what kind of iron you found that did not have AUTO-OFF! I realllllly dislike AUTO-OFF and the lock that my washing machine has on it. For all these years I have never fallen in my washing machine - I do not need a safety lock on it. :(cjnid AT imaxmail DOT net

Summer is coming to and end! too quickly!ah! they're so cute those Japanese dollies! I think my favourite summer memory from this summer will be to watching my 2 year old girl, Hana, with her "best fend' Nell, sitting in the garden and stuffing themselves with fresh peas, even feeding Nell's dog... Long summer evenings...they'll be missed! the weather is changing here already. Thanks for the chance!

My memory of summer goes back to 1993 or 94 when me, my sister and my cousins used to play family, build play houses and stage dramas in the house. My grandma's house would become upside down every summer with just the 4 of us....:) Love those days!!!

my favorite summer memory is laying on the driveway on a hot summer night getting a "moon tan" as my sister and I called it. Ah...to be 12 years old again! For this summer it would be 4th of July weekend when all my kids and grandkids were together in one place, our home, for a reunion.

Being back in my childhood neighborhood. Running around playing tag, freeze tag, hide & go seek, Mother may I & One two three red light!! Catching fireflies in jars than letting them go. Eating burgers outside hot off the grill!Thank for making me remember the simple good times!!

Love the fabric!! I would have to say my favorite summer memory is when we first got our pool and we had a big pool party. Nobody cared there wasn't any grass :) They still thought they were all in Hawaii...it was the best summer ever :)

My favorite summer memory was playing kick the can after dark with all the kids in the neighborhood, that was always a blast! Thanks again for another chance to win some cute fabric :)Jen Nelsongraciesophiaboutique@comcast.net

My favorite summer memory is sitting in the back yard as the sun goes down talking with my husband, son(18) and daughter (20) about their lives. It doesn't happen often to get every one together, and doesn't happen often to get the kids really Talking! Love those times!

I just had a summer I'll never forget. I was off work after having baby #2. We spent summer days snuggling with baby Henry, going to the zoo with big sister, and spending long weekends at the lake. It was perfect!

My favorite summer memory is vague, but it involves my cousins from Pennsylvania visiting. We had a delightful evening catching "lightning bugs" (aka fireflies) and putting them in jars to make lamps. Times were peaceful and there was nothing to fear except missing out on dessert.

When I was a kid my grandparents had a "camp" on a nearby river. It was not fancy, but I loved staying there with my grandparents and various cousins. We would spend the days canoeing and swimming and having outdoor adventures.

All my favorite summer memories revolve around the beach. It was, and still is, our local playground/park. Teaching my children to make drip castles, watching them play in the shorebreak as little ones, and watching them surf when they were older.Thanks for the giveaway--such beautiful fabric.

My favorite summer memory is the summer we went to the Smokey Mountains. I fell instantly in love with the colors, the cooler weather and the beauty of nature. I grew up a city girl so the mountains were a wonderful experience.

The pony man! Every summer, when we were very young (like, 3-8 y.o. maybe)the pony man would bring his pony to our street, and just set up in the middle of the street. Someone would set up big yellow wooden police barriers, and the kids lined up, paid some small amount, and rode the ponies round the little ring. Whoa, Nellie!

OH, that's and easy one...my favorite summer memory is of playing hide and seek growing up on our one acre of ground, lots of hiding spots, 24 pear trees, 8 apple trees, 6 cherry trees and 2 peach trees. Then, best of all, when the 16 long rows of corn were up, we could hide in there too. But me...I usually went into the chicken coop. Most of the the time my parents joined in the fun. Great memories. Thanks so much for a chance at these cheerful quilting treasures. Hugs...

School starts Monday and I've had a great summer with my boys. We camped out in the back, went to the beach, vacation, I had a get away with my hubby for our 10 year anniversary. It's been a great summer!

my favorite memory from this summer was having a picnic dinner around the bonfire in the backyard with my daughter, 20 & the hubs. We cooked hotdogs on sticks, enjoyed some salads ... so much fun to enjoy the outdoors :) thanks for the chance to win!

ahhhh.....summer camp at Camp Sealth on Vashon Island in Washington State. It was Camp Fire Girl camp back in the day - now it's for boys and girls. I used to sell Camp Fire mints to help pay my way and would spend at least 2 or 3 weeks there every summer for 9 years. Those were the best of times. Thanks for the giveaway and the chance to relive old memories :D

My favorite summer memory would have to be the year my parents bought a new fridge and I got to keep the box! I must have been three or four years old. I used it as a fort and would play in it all day long.

My favorite summer memory is the camping trips we used to take our girls on. Sitting around the campfire wrapped up in blankets and enjoying the quiet all around us. Thanks for the opportunity to enter another of your wonderful giveaways.

favorite summer memory? there's a fantastic state park in west virginia, about 20 minutes away from where i went to college in ohio that is the best place to go hiking. i'm not much of a hiker, but the summer of '02 was spent pretty much at that park. gorgeous!

Oh my gosh oh my gosh...gotta have!!!! My DD is actually part Hawaiian. Her grandmother is full Hawaiian...but my DD also has always had a huge LOVE for anything Asian. She has always loved Hawaiian and Asian decor and never can decide between them. When do you think you will have yardage available?

My favorite summer memory would be time with my family in the mountains. Living in Florida, we always enjoyed the beautiful scenery and had some fun adventures in the Smokies. Thanks for such a very cute giveaway.

So this summer I surprised my mom and dad by showing up at our family reunion. I havn't been home in 9 years.. it was a super long drive for us, but I just came up and sat down at the picnic table next to my mom, and OH wasn't she surprised!! It was great. 6 of her and dad's 7 kids were there together.. such a great day!

Summertime: when one can lay in the sun (wearing sunscreen, of course) with a delicious book and a mint-flavored ice tea. Guess that memory is from a few years ago because this summer was mostly too bloomin' hot to be outside without the fear of heatstroke! Thanks for this nice giveaway of some super-looking fabrics.

The first thing that popped into my head was the summer I was 11. We lived in an apartment complex with a pool. I'd never had access to a real "in the ground" pool, and I lived there all day every day, that whole summer.

My favorite summer memories would be when my cousins and I were little and we would be at my grandma's for a barbeque. We would each get our own little pack of campfire marshmellows. I think they came in a little box. Maybe 8 of them. Imagine having 8 marshmellows to roast just for you! Then we would get jars with holes punched in the lids and catch lighning bugs. They would light the night up until it was time to go home. Then take the lid off and watch them all fly up into the night. Great times.

When I was a child my family would drive to Sacramento (from Portland) to visit relatives or they would visit us. We would visit the Oregon Coast, Mt Hood, or British Columbia when they visited us. On the flip side, we would visit San Francisco, Los Angeles (Disneyland), etc. Fun times.

My favorite memory was the summer I got to spend a week at my grandparents house in New Jersey all by myself. My parents and sister went home to Michigan. It was great to have my grandparents all to myself!

My favorite summer memory would have to be going to the "beach" (which was really just the local river, but we all called it the beach!)with my sisters and staying there all day and swimming and having fun!

Cute! I loved the summer nights spent in my grandparents' back yard eating watermelon, making homemade ice cream and catching lightning bugs. Those memories make me smile everytime I go out into my own backyard at twilight.

I have great memories of eating tomatoes as if they were apples - without slicing or anything. My grandma grew them fresh in her enormous garden, and lined them up on the windowsills of her enclosed porch. They were always nice and warm... YUM

I'm new to you blog -- A Quilting Life sent me over. Always looking for new blogs that have quilting ideas! My favorite memory this summer is, without a doubt, time spent with my two little granddaughters -- priceless!

We've had lots of great moments this Summer ~ one of my favorites is sitting on the beach by our campsite and the sand was too hot to walk on. So we parked ourselves in the shade, a ways from the water. So we didn't have to worry about our one-year old taking a dive for the water because every time he attempted the sand, he came back whimpering because it was too hot. Better than a playpen!

Favorite summer memory was the summer we camped at Garner State park and it flooded -- best tubing (on the river) time ever! LOL. :-)

Actually, I have many favorite summer memories. The summer we camped on the beach at Galveston -- exactly one week before they closed it down to beach campers among onther things. Trips to Astroworld (no longer existing amusement park).

That fabric is so cute! It reminds me of a trip my hubby and I made to Hawaii. Because of its closeness to Japan, there are a lot of Japanese newlyweds on the beaches for their honeymoon. Favorite summer memories would be playing hide-n-seek till after dark and then catching fireflies in jars. Such a simple life, being a child.

A favorite memory for me is on the spur of the moment, Mom and a friend would pack up whatever food they could find for a picnic and then heading to a park where we could swim and play. Then in the evening, our Dad's would meet us after work and we would stay at the park until it closed for the night. Thanks for the great fabric giveaway.

My best summer memory was getting to take a family vacation with our kids and grandkids plus one. We have a 4 yr. old foster child, and he got to go with us. We found out today that he will be here for Christmas and possibly to be adopted into our family!

My best Summer memory is from when I was a little girl, my Dad would mow the grass with a push mower, rake it into a mound and I would jump around in it. :) Used to get as itchy as can be later though!I still love the smell of fresh mown grass! :)

My favorite summer memory was holding beauty pageants in the front yard of Christie Harris' house. (The one house on the block where you could pretty much do anything and the mom just smiled.) We would make the one little boy be the host and use the hose to outline a runway. Cars driving by would honk for us. We let a different girl win every day. It was silly fun. Deb

My favorite summer memory... Would have to be the bed sheet hammocks that my grandmother helped me and my sister make when we spent time at her house. We'd be lulled to sleep and snooze the afternoon away in those things.

One of my favorite summer memories is visiting my grandfather's house. He always had junk everywhere...but there was never a lack of things to do. He had these large blow up tubes that you could climb on and jump. We would also swim in the creek behind his house and hunt for crayfish. I remember enjoying our visits there...which usually ended with the gift of a whole dollar each! =)

It's been a pretty quiet summer for us, it's just been SO hot. I would have to say my favorite memory is when we brought home a 10' round cheap-o snapset pool for our 3 year old to play in and my older two boys and about 5 of the neighbor kids all jumped in to play. We had so many kids squeezed into this tiny little pool trying to keep cool, it was such a sight. They had a blast though!

Ah...seeing your children with the hose...Ha-haone (we make many) of my favorite summer-time memories is, working in the yard with the children & then when we are done & I am 'cleaning; up...Momma uses that hose & no one comes in "DRY"! Oh my word I love to get my children & they scream & carry on....& we laugh & laugh.Love the Hawaiian theme as we are doing my Dad's 80th Birthday in November in that theme for him for his love of his time being station there in Pearl Harbor :) He has been back once to visit!As summer see's it's final chapter coming lets all be glad that we have these fun memories to share!Blessings~Thanks for yet ----another wonderful give-away!~Lori

My favorite memory of summer was staying at the local swimming pool for the early session and then again in the afternoon session. Our toes and hands were so wrinkley. The sweet smell of grass and the wonderful breeze through the open windows.......
